Although Alan Cooperman's story "CUE Suggests Pass/Fail Plan for the Core" (November 20) quotes directly (and, incidentally, without permission) from my letter to members of CUE, it misrepresents the views expressed in that letter. Because I believe the question of pass/fail for the Core deserves thoughtful discussion, I ask you to print my letter in full...
Second, the placement and design of the kiosks is, we assume, a matter that was carefully studied before such a large capital expenditure was made. We must ask for a reevaluation of their effectiveness: the low height, obtuse angles, and innocuous appearance of the kiosks admirably accomplishes what we can only presume to be the administration's intention in approving such a design, namely that the units are all but invisible to the passers-by.

A typical exercise in White bourgeois scapegoating and self-service. Next you will support a Harvard Black Crimson. No wonder Malcolm x thought...
...Restic knows that when things go wrong. Jeff Toobin will ask why. Jeff and the rest of the staff in the Crimson sports Cube go right to the source for the inside story on Harvard sports. And when things go right, the Cube--and its staff of talented sports photographers--are there with the action, wherever...
